In a formal letter to a company, what information do you include?

Options:

Your address

Both your address and the company's address

Your date of birth

None of these

Correct Answer:

Both your address and the company's address

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - Both your address and the company's address

In a formal letter to a company, it is standard practice to include both your address (sender's address) and the company's address (recipient's address). These details help identify the sender and ensure the letter reaches the correct recipient.

FORMAT OF A FORMAL LETTER

  1. Your address (sender's address)
  2. Date
  3. Recipient's address (company's address)
  4. Subject line (optional, but preferred for clarity)
  5. Salutation (e.g., "Dear Sir/Madam")
  6. Body
  7. Closing (e.g., "Yours sincerely")
  8. Your name and signature

Including both addresses ensures the letter is professional and follows standard business communication practices.
